Another 10.5.2 seed released with “no known issues”

Yea, we already reported on another 10.5.2 developer seed just the other day that brought plenty of good news, but Apple is apparently on a roll this week. That build was 9C16, and a new build issued yesterday is labeled 9C20. Even better news: it apparently has "no known issues." Given the increased frequency of these builds and a slate that has apparently been cleared of To Dos, this massive update could be very well land any day now.

Along with this latest seed, AppleInsider reports that Apple also released a "Leopard Graphics Update 1.0" that clocks in just under 50MB. Not much is known about this particular spinoff, though updates to video drivers and perhaps image components like RAW support are good bets. New fixes included in this latest 10.5.2 seed, which weighs around 360MB, apply to AirPort, the Dock (like we've mentioned before), the translucent Menu Bar issue, Finder, Safari, Spotlight, and Time Machine. A total of 22 code corrections have been added to the 10.5.2 list, allowing this update to tackle over 115 documented fixes.

It sounds like Apple has really taken its time to round up a significant number of fixes for this update. 10.5.1, if you'll remember, landed on November 15 last year, less than a month after Leopard's retail release. Even if 10.5.2 arrived tomorrow, Apple will have spent over two months putting it together (and sure, maybe the Mac OS X engineers got an afternoon off or something for the holidays). Let's hope all that hard work squashes Leopard's most wanted bugs.
